At least 24 people killed in IAF strikes in Gaza

At least 24 Palestinians were killed in IAF strikes in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, Gazan health officials said. A total of 54 Palestinians were killed so far since fighting resumed on Tuesday night.

Three of the casualties were Islamic Jihad militants who were preparing to launch rockets at Israel from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, the IDF said, while three others were seriously wounded. The IAF attacked another terrorist in northern Gaza.

Four people were killed in Gaza City during an airstrike on a cemetery, where they were burying relatives killed earlier, AFP reported.

Six Palestinians were killed in an early morning strike on a four-story structure in the southern town of Rafah, according to Palestinian police said. The IAF also struck three terrorists in central Gaza overnight.

The IAF hit more than 20 targets across the Gaza Strip since midnight, including rocket launching posts and weapons manufacturing facilities, bringing the total of targets hit since fighting resumed on Tuesday night to 150.
